The Power Of Oneness

Genesis 11:6 " and the Lord said behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do".


There is such power in being one. When the body, mind and spirit all come together on one accord, there is nothing which can't be done. In the book of Acts, when the disciples were all in one place, on one accord then the power of the holy spirit came and rested upon them. There is such power in being one, that Jesus prayed that we be one with Him as He was one with the Father. It is in our oneness with Christ that we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us.

Here in our text the decedents of  Noah had come together to build a tower and a city. They wanted the tower to reach heaven. Now even though what they set out to do was wrong and went against God's will for their lives, God said because they were one and spoke one language, there is nothing they can imagine that they can't accomplish. So God came down and confused them by allowing all to speak a different language. Just think of the power the body of Christ would have if we came together, all speaking one language, working toward one goal, uplifting and glorifying our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. When we all begin to speak the good news of salvation, and make the promoting of God's business our priority and not our own personal ministries, churches, denominations, and position, just think we could then truly saved the world.

Here God tells us that there is power in our oneness, but let our oneness be one with Christ. Let us be one with His will, His message, His purpose, his love, His giving and forgiving, and the building of His kingdom. Let all that we imagine to do be that which our heavenly Father has called us to do, to tell a dying world the good news of salvation, that we can all walk up the kings highway to heaven.
